Don Raffaele
(located 260m from Marriott hotel)


 
Don Raffaele is a short walk from Marriott Hotel Milan, and came recommended from the counter's concierge. The place is not hard to find, and located three streets down.

 Ordered:
26Aug2014
Complimentary serving of Montanare
(small fried pizza)

*Taste like poorly friend you char kui (dough fritters) The dough wasn't even hot, and
dish was oily with a cold topping of tomato salsa. Although it came complimentary, this
could have skipped.*
 

Risotto Del Sole €12.00
(Risotto with Cuttlefish, octopus, Shrimp, mussels, clams and saffron)

 *A pleasant description but Chinese may call it char beng. A very heavy dish, creamy
and a little on the salty side. They could be more generous with the seafoods but a
decent dish. Very filling and it's better to be shared.*

Incaciata €9.00
(Fresh pasta with swordfish, clams and basil)


Shi Ling,"Ok only"

Fusilli Alla nerano €10.50
(Fresh pasta with provolone cheese, zucchini, basil, bacon and black pepper.)
 
Senthil ,"A light vinegary flavor...Enjoyable, and I'd go back again for the dish"

Fettuccelle Alla Pescatora €12.00
(Fresh pasta with cuttlefish, calamari, shrimp and parsley) 

Michelle, "Something different."

Ravioli Di Bufala €10.00
(Filled with ricotta cheese, marjoram, tomato, Parmesan cheese and basil)

Lai,"The filling is a little dry."

Donna Margherita €8.00
(Tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil)


*It could have a little more cook time in the wood oven to give it that additional char. The
additional €2 for buffalo vs non-buffalo mozzarella maybe up indistinguishable unless
both were ordered.*

Donna Marid €8.50
(Neapolitan sausages, green vegetables, provolone cheese)


*I personally do like this dish, with a pleasant, smokiness to the greens. It pairs
surprisingly well with the cheese and sausage topping. An enlightening, flavorful
experience."


Herman,"Food was ok... insufficient meat selection, with only a single option of pork and
chicken."
2 bottles wine
2 bottles sparkling water
2 bottles flat water
Fed:9
Total €157.90


Don Raffaele definitely fulfills the close proximity requirement to Marriott Hotel. The
place serves descent pastas, but to unfamiliar pallets, fresh pasta is much starchier and
heavier than off the shelf pasta noodles. Pasta dishes maybe heavier and better of to share.
However, like recognizing a good roast joint by the fact that they have their own roaster, having a wood oven guarantees solid pizzas which I felt they definitely delivered. Some found that the end crusts were a little thick, or slightly salty, but overall, I personally felt it was good value and great flavor. A wood char flavor really comes through the flavor. Review of pizzas ordered as seen above. Probably a pizza over a pasta place.
